Dan Berggren

2015-10-05

Dan Berggren is a tradition-based songsmith who writes with honesty, humor and a strong sense of place. His concerts are engaging as he invites audiences to join in on songs that explore the lives of hard working folks and the many dimensions of home. While his roots are firmly in the Adirondack Mountains where he was raised, his music has branched out across many borders. For over 40 years, the award-winning musician and educator has performed across New York, from Vermont to Michigan, Kentucky to Texas, and overseas in Europe, the British Isles and Central Africa. A SUNY professor emeritus and founding member of the Unitarian Universalist Society of Northern Chautauqua in Fredonia, Dan along with his wife Nancy are active members of the UU Congregation of Saratoga Springs.  Click here to visit Dan’s website, Berggren Folk.

“Dan is a throwback to the old role of the folk singer…he’s articulating things that need to be said right now.”
